Report of the Chamberlain

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain which provided Members with an update, on the financial performance of the City of London Corporation’s Managed Information System service contract with Agilisys Ltd.

The Chief Information Officer advised that, although the cost of the contract remained within budget. There was potential for this to be exceed as a result of increase in data storage volumes, this was due to the City of London Corporation data storage needs being estimated at 20% less in the original contract. A Member noted that the cost of data storage continued to decrease and asked Officers to ensure that the contract with Agilisys for data storage remained value for money. Officers assured the Sub-Committee that the contract was on a pay as you use basis, the more that was used the more it cost.

During the discussion and debate of this item, the following issues were raised/noted:

1.    That the Apprenticeship Programme had not employed 100 Apprentices as was detailed in the original contract. Officers explained that as a result of this an interim agreement had been reached between Agilisys and the City of London Corporation to cross refer suitable candidates for an apprenticeship to each other.

2.    A overview comparing the City of London Corporation contract with the City of London Police and Oracle contract would be beneficial to benchmark the progress made so far; and

3.    The Sub-Committee requested a review for the second year of the Agilisys contract with the City of London Corporation be arrnaged.

RESOLVED: that;

1.    an overview of the City of London Corporation Police and the Oracle contract take place, to check the progress made against the City of London Corporation’s contract;

2.    a review of the second year of the contract with the Agilisys be organised to check progress made; and

3.    to note the report.
